Week 7 of liquids -- gimme food already!

Six days left of the trial of trials. I'm so ready for food. A week of Clear liquids pre-op and six weeks of full liquids post-op is finally entering the home stretch. Thankfully I've had good Soups this whole time, but moving to solids next week, I sure won't miss soups going forward. I'm starting to have daily daydreams about chewing food. I made it through my birthday on liquids and will make it through Easter on liquids. As an early Mother's Day celebration, my best friend and I are taking our mothers out for high tea four days after I start food, and one day before my first fill. I know I'll have to be careful that day, but I can't stop thinking about it! I'm happy I've been able to make it this far and have actually followed eating and exercise instructions, which is a biggie. I've lost a moderate amount of weight post-op, not as much as I would have thought, but it's better than nothing. I'm getting diet-weary this week, and am really looking forward to the next phase, when my band can start helping me. Just needed to throw all this out there. Thanks for listening.

Last day of liquids.... Yay! I'm setting my alarm clock half an hour early tomorrow to have time to slowly eat my scrambled eggs! Woot woot!

Those are going to be the best scrambled eggs you've ever eaten

I did it! I made it 5 days pre-op and 6 weeks post-op on liquids. Tomorrow morning is scrambled egg time. This weekend I plan to try the recipe that someone mentioned about making eggs/cheese/etc. in a muffin tin in the oven -- I thought those would be good to freeze and reheat for an easy Breakfast. Does anybody make those, and what ingredients do you use?

Yes! I love these, such a great make ahead for the week, super simple and yummo!!

I use spiniach, mushrooms, onions and cheese and either crumble up low sodium bacon or sausage to ramp up the Protein.

I think I'm going to make these Sunday, its been awhile;)

I had 3 weeks of liquids and wanted to take a fork and stab something the whole time. 7 weeks ugh! but sounds like you are getting through and it will be worth it when you see the weight loss and how you feel. Hope you like soft foods too.
